I sent a request late last night , and I promptly got a returned phone call early this morning as requested. Service provided was excellent and within 15 minutes, the problem was resolved and explained to my satisfaction. I am starting my work week with a happy note and many thanks to Parachute for their supports.

This was hands down the smoothest troubleshooting experience I’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was handled quickly, clearly, and professionally. Michael and Manoline were both extremely knowledgeable, patient, and friendly, and they took the time to explain things in a way that made the process easy and stress-free. Their responsiveness and proactive approach made a big difference, and the issue was resolved faster than I expected. Truly excellent support all around.

They fixed a bizarre and very annoying problem in File Explorer and, aside from the initial short call, did everything in the background!

Seemed to be quite a difficult issue to resolve and was resolved. Taylor even worked directly with FICS to get the issue resolved and stuck it through. He was more available than I was. thanks for the help!
